This is an auction for THE HOUSE ON THE STRAND by Daphne Du Maurier.

From Wikipedia:

"The House on the Strand is a novel by Daphne du Maurier. First published in 1969. Like many of du Maurier's novels, The House on the Strand has a supernatural element (though in this case, it can also be accounted as science fiction). It is concerned with the ability to mentally travel back in time and experience historical events at first hand - but not to influence them. It is set in and around Kilmarth (where Daphne du Maurier lived from 1967) near the Cornish village of Tywardreath, which in fact translates from the Cornish language as "House on the Strand". The narrator, Richard "Dick" Young, has been offered the use of Kilmarth, a Cornwall estate owned by his biophysicist friend Magnus Lane. He reluctantly agrees to act as a test subject for a drug that Magnus has developed. On taking it for the first time, Dick finds that it enables him to enter into the landscape around him as it existed during the early 14th Century. He becomes drawn into the lives of the people he sees there and is soon addicted to the experience. Dick is compelled to follow Roger, steward to Sir Henry Champernoune and secret lover to his wife, Lady Isolda Carminowe. Dick comes to share this love. Each visit corresponds to a key moment in the story of Isolda and Roger. Each time Dick returns to real time he is more confused; throughout the experience he is unable to interact with the couple. Any attempt to do so brings Dick crashing back to the present in a state of nauseous exhaustion. (The drug has other dangers in that following Roger means that Dick walks unaware through the modern landscape.)..."
